DNA polymerase alpha subunit B (DNA polymerase alpha 70 kDa subunit)
Protein function
Accessory subunit of the DNA polymerase alpha complex (also known as the alpha DNA polymerase-primase complex) which plays an essential role in the initiation of DNA synthesis (PubMed:9705292). During the S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA polym
